[SOLVED] - Failed to compile qtwebengine - missing file

harchu

Hi,
I was following instructions on https://qt-project.org/wiki/Building-Qt-5-from-Git#0cc5cbb2903cf6911ac1b6e3aa032572 to get the source code and build qt5 on my mac (10.9). However, after running 'make', i get the error below:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -f Makefile.gyp_run.Debug all
/Users/rharchandani/Documents/gitstuff/qt5/qtwebengine/src/3rdparty/ninja/ninja -C /Users/rharchandani/Documents/gitstuff/qt5/qtwebengine/src/core/Debug

make[2]: *** [sub-core-make_first] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-src-make_first] Error 2

Is there something i am missing?

Thanks,

Hi,

Please check that you are using the dev branch and try again

Thanks..i was using the dev branch. the problem was that everything from the bin directory of my local Qt 5.3 install was on the PATH..once i removed it and tried to build it, it worked fine.
